    Why is this so hard...continued.

    Still going strong...Did have 2 drinks with brother and was tempted to continue but decided to hold course and stay healthy.
    AF with a few speed bumps during 2014 & 2015 but will succeed.
    As of 4/12/2014 I have not smoked at all and feel great.

      Hey Traveler,
      Good for you for limiting yourself.
      I found it much harder to stop once I had started drinking.
      Well done.

        Geez, you must have iron will. Once I start, I tend to drink my limit, although I am tapering down. Good for you!
        I've been walking, a long and crooked path. Come my restoration, wash my body clean...

            Good job on knowing your limit and stopping

              Hi everyone! I've been taking nal for a month now. The cravings are way down, but I'm still drinking just as much. Can anyone give me some idea of how long it takes for the actual consumption to go down? I'm getting discouraged because I'm still experiencing the same type of personal problems when I get drunk.
              Thanks

                MakingMyWay,

                I would post this question on one of the naltrexone threads in the Meds Forum.

                There are several members here who use Naltexone and will be able to answer that question for you.

                :welcome:, btw.

                  Thanks all, just a background for some of you that don't know me. But I decided Jan 27th as my new birthday and to get control over my life again, it was has not been easy but the rewards have been great. I originally posted this thread on membership side but due to financial issues was unable to continue that but decided to keep updates here. So iron will? far from it but with this website and power of positive thinking and also a 12 year old son that I value more than anything in the world I will keep going.

                    So alluring....

                    It's so alluring. the fantasy of enjoying drink, and relaxing on the deck etc... I LOVE my chardonnay in the sunshine. It's just that I like to keep going and going,and that's not okay! How can such an innocent wish, turn so evil???

                      Amen to that, I used to love having a glass of Scotch (Pref Malt +15 years) a nice Cigar and sit there and just chill or read my book, but as you say there developed the habit of "ohh one more" and then "one more" and well my brakes became real loose and I could not stop. Can't change the past but can live for today as that creates my future....one day at a time.

                        Good Morning,
                        Thinking back to that night this summer where I had a couple with my brother and at that time the temptation was to continue I did not and I am very glad that I did not. Looking back as I awoke this morning and wrote my feelings into my journals and the feeling of not having a hangover was just great
                        Realizing that there is so much more to experience and share is awesome, I would not trade any of what I have gained this year to go back to where I was earlier.
                        Thank you all for being here.

                          Well here it is Nov 16th and I am still going strong, looking forward to Jan 27th where it will be 1 year since a change in life's choices. I cant explain how wonderful it is to be able to not use alcohol as a crutch and or an escape. I just got back from ASIA where I flew over there and back in a span of 5 days and my body clock is way way off. But in general having made this change has drastically improved my work ethic and my personal life. It is and probably will never be easy but it is worth the commitment. Thank you all for your continued support....

                            First of all refer to the Strictly Sinclair's Method Forum for many answers you looking for. Also make sure you read Dr. Roy Escapa's book Cure for Alcoholism. Also, do not get discouraged. The Method definely works, Just Continue taking Nal one hour before. It takes months but there is a definite cure. Continue applying the sinclair's method strictly. Good Luck.
